No it dosent,same way baby factories still litter igbo land.

So its not yet Uhuru

IlekeHD:


And less than 50% understand Igbo

I see the pride you have in the extinction of your language.

Come to Igboland and listen, and good luck to you if you pretend to understand Igbo because they won't speak English to you until they figure out you don't understand Igbo.

ezeagu:


English speaking Nollywood is like 20% Igbo. That's why you guys know all these little words. Nollywood is like a Trojan horse for the Igbo language. Ask Kenyans.

Why yoruba language dominates 95% of the music industry. Ask Africa and the world.

IlekeHD:


Does the English language remove drug pushing from the igbo land?

Maybe the Yoruba will be good because of high illiterate rate in southwest as jamb and waec confirmed


This welcome

Obiagu1:


You won't believe it but Youth corpers from other parts of the country struggle to teach in [size=18pt]most secondary schools in Yorubaland because of the inability of the students to understand english language.[/size]

Now add millions of touts that didn't go to school, then you'll get the sense of how grave the situation is in Yorubaland.

As long as they understand Yoruba.

Even with your Aba-made stats and your shameless appraisal of another man's language, Yoruba will continue to spread. It is global!

Same way nigerian mordern songs are 20% yoruba.

Language rep between Igbo and Yoruba in the music industry is probably equal now, just depending on where you stay.

Got more?

So it's your high literacy in igboland that you're using to push drugs to Indonesia?

If high illiteracy equals reviving Yoruba and spreading it globally, I say welcome!

superstar1:


At least they are not vagabonds in another man's land., like some clowns from the gully eroded part of east of the niger.

They have turned miscreants and urchins in their father's land


It's better to be a vagabond in faraway land than in your own land


What a shame

Yoruba in the music industry is high ..... I see our igbo bros selling music with English/Yoruba

Don't even venture into Nollywood, 'cus ndị Igbo have the best of both worlds when it comes to that. We control the English side of Nollywood, which by the way is spiced up with a heavy dose of Igbo, and we've recently resurrected our Igbo movies, and they are doing so well now. Go to YouTube to feed your eyes.

MegaMan1987:


Who watched them? You Igbos prefer English Nollywood. You don't respect your own language. Us Yoruba have our own movie industry with our own language. It might not be as big as ENGLISH SPEAKING Nollywood but it's still our own and we support it. Igbo language speaking movies? Please

tonychristopher:

It is making our neo-colonializaion of Africa faster with our language.

Which ones have turned miscreant? The shameless vagabonds protesting when they should be tending to their jobs and/or be in school? Or the increasing culture of drug pushing in igboland?

I'm okay with this sentiment, but there is nothing supporting indigenous languages currently that would warrant the removal of English right now. I mean, there are no indigenous language schools or universities. English is still the medium of education, and without you may be lost.

Is it not better for you to keep your bad character at home rather than disgracing your ancestors, father and entire family outside?

No wonder y1bos do not see any shame in disgracing Nigeria all over the world, spoiling our good name.

Depending on where you are staying language rep in the movie industry is probably equal.List the top 5 hottest songs in 9ja ryt now and at least 3 would have yoruba lyrics in it.List the top 5 hottest artist in 9ja ryt now and at least 3 of them would be yorubas.

Igbos dominate nollywood,sure.

I'm talking about how the entire first page is about Igbo people. Wow, flattering. But you need to focus on things important to you, or are Igbo matter that important to you?

BBC is reviving Yoruba?
